Need advice: I recently graduated from an MBA program and will start with EY Parthenon soon. I have 42 months left on my H1B and I’m nervous about EY starting my GC process since they have paused PERM (they said they will start GC after a year but if they miss this window, I’ll be screwed). Should I be looking to change jobs soon (within the next six months) or stick it out with EY? TIA!

42 months is a lot of time. Why are you fretting? Ey immigration team and especially TAS/parthenon is really good to their immigrants.

Also, congratulations! Parthenon is amazing

run out of ey, Deloitte or any other so called management consulting if you are looking for immigration peace of mind. join a hardcore tech company. these consulting companies will screw you case definitely now or in future

I feel like joining tech as non-eng is riskier than staying in consulting

Perm should normally take 18 months. You have plenty of time. I wouldn’t be changing anything before the end of this year/ after the election.

like

When you say 42 months, that includes a renewal.
My lawyers advised me to complete Perm process before H1B renewal, as that would minimize the odds of H1B renewal rejection.

Though an unlikely event, H1B renewal isn’t a certainty

Stick to EY, being in a partnership helps. And make sure you get on initiatives or projects that are global so you build a network. Also get PR to somewhere else.

OP I have 17 months left before my h1b extension expire and it was just last week that the Immigration team reached out to me to complete the GC/PERM questionnaire. I think I’d screwed.

like

So what is your action plan? Did they say you have enough time?

You perm needs to be filed before completion of year 5. You have plenty of time

where did you get that before completion of 5 years..there is no such rule

Agree with SD1.
